This Windows-only setting allows an administrator to pre-create Windows domain based User ID's in a CDD.  This is useful in environments where the administrator wishes to use maximum CDD security.  When using NT Integrated security in the default mode, the first time a user connects to a CDD, a special unique NT_INTEGRATED User ID will be created for them in the CDD that is based on their Windows credentials.  If an administrator wishes to lock the CDD so no User ID's can be created, setting INTEGRATEDSECURITYMODE to a value of 2 in the CONNX Configuration Manager under the CONNX key will allow this.

 

To use this feature:

• Set INTEGRATEDSECURITYMODE to a value of 2 using the CONNX Configuration Manager on every Windows machine where a CONNX client will be making a connection.
• In the CDD Administrator, select Tools|Options from the main menu.  Select Enable NT Integrated Security from the CONNX Data Dictionary Global Configuration Options dialog.
• From the Security menu, select Users.  Select Add User from the CONNX Users dialog.
• In the user name field, enter the username in the following format UserName$#NT#$_DomainName
• Please note the underscore '_' between $#NT#$ and the domain name
• The UserName must be the user's Windows domain User Name
• DomainName is the name of the Windows Domain the user is logging in from.

 

IntegratedSecurityMode=2 

 

Where:

value = 0. (Default. System generated unique user id)

value = 1 (Reserved. do not use)

value = 2 (Administrator generated user id - must follow format as described in above text)
